  • Wnt and PCP signaling pathways predicted to have downregulated activity included Wnt ligands (Wnt2b, Wnt3a, Wnt8b, Wnt9a, Wnt10a), Wnt inhibitors (Dkk1 and Wif1), activators for Wnt and PCP pathways (Rspo1, 2, 3), and readout of Wnt pathway (Sp5). Corresponding fold changes in gene expression are shown. Glutamate receptor signaling plus other signaling pathways predicted to have upregulated activity included the metabotropic glutamate receptors (Grm1, 5, 8), glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 3a (Grin3a), and G-protein subunit γ 4 (Gng4).
